The thing I identify the most with is surfing. It makes me feel good inside and out, when I catch a good wave the feeling is unexplainable to where you would have to experience it for yourself.

I only got thrown around feeling regret that I could only get that feeling in Florida. After that I didn’t really build the confidence to go back out I just sat at home completely frustrated to the point
